Software Optimized operating software
iMax B6 features an AUTO function that controls the charge rate during charging and discharging. For Lithium batteries, this can prevent overcharging which may lead to an explosion due to the user's setting the charge rate improperly. It will disconnect the circuit automatically and initiate an alarm if there is any malfunction. All the operating modes of this charger are controlled through two way communication, between the charger and the battery to achieve maximum safety. All the settings can be configured by the user.

Internal independent lithium battery balancer
iMax B6 employs an individual-cell-voltage balancer. It is not necessary to connect an external balancer for balance charging.

Balancing individual cells battery discharging
During the process of discharging, the eXtreme 605 can monitor and balance each cell of the battery individually. An error message will be indicated and the process will be ended automatically if the voltage of any single one cell is abnormal.

Adaptable to various types of lithium battery
iMax B6 is adaptable to various types of Lithium batteries, such as Li-ion, LiPo and the new LiFe series of batteries.

"Fast" and "storage" mode of lithium battery
There are various methods of charging Lithium batteries. "Fast" charge reduces the charging time whereas "store charge" can control the final voltage of your battery. This method is best for long term storage and protects the useful life of the battery.

Maximum safety
Delta-peak sensitivity: The automatic charge termination program based on the principle of the Delta-peak voltage detection. When the battery's voltage exceeds the threshold, the process will be terminated automatically.

Automatic charging current limit:
You can set the upper limit of the charge current when charging your NiCd or NiMH batteries. This is useful for NiMH batteries of low impedance and capacity in the 'AUTO' charging mode.

Temperature threshold:
The batteries internal chemical reaction can cause the temperature of the battery to rise during charging. If the temperature limit is reached (set by the user), the charging process will be terminated. This function is available by connecting an optional temperature probe, which is not included in with the charger.

Processing time limit:
The user can set the maximum charging time. If the charging time exceeds the limit, the process will be terminated automatically when you set the maximum time for the charging mode.

Data store/load
The "" can store data from ten different batteries. The user can set the charging / discharging parameters for a particular battery type and "call up" these settings to charge a battery without additional programming needed.

Cyclic charging/discharging
Batteries can be set to charge/ discharge for 5 cycles if needed.

** Warning: Unattended battery is dangerous while charging with any battery charger.

** Although many chargers have a discharge function for balancing (or for Storage Mode) but it is usually limited to 5W only which is a joke (5W is too low). Because if you discharge a battery with large capacity, then you need to wait for a terrible long time (usually the charger will timeout the operation after a period of time). If you need the discharge function, please consider to buy the RCX 150W Discharger OR RCX 50W Discharger. They work super fast for balancing and discharging.
